9.1.1 ABS_POS
The ABS_POS register contains the current motor absolute position in agreement to the
selected step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half,
quarter, etc.). The value is in 2's complement format and it ranges from -2
21
to +2
21
-1.
At power-on the register is initialized to “0” (HOME position).
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see
9.1.2 EL_POS
The EL_POS register contains the current electrical position of the motor. The two MSbits
indicate the current step and the other bits indicate the current microstep (expressed in
step/128) within the step.
When the EL_POS register is written by the user the new electrical position is instantly
imposed. When the EL_POS register is written its value must be masked in order to match
with the step mode selected in the STEP_MODE register in order to avoid a wrong
microstep value generation (see
); otherwise the resulting
microstep sequence is incorrect.
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see
